The Education Gadfly Show

This week, Mike and Rick talk about time machines, fedora-wearing politicos, and the benefits of sucking up. Checker Finn stops by and grants us an interview, and Education News of the Weird is, once again, purely puerile, even disgusting. Happy holidays, listeners!

This week, Mike and Rick demand more pledging, less union meddling, and longer speeches from Bill Gates. Our interview with Graham Down about liberal arts curricula is real, and it's spectacular, and Education News of the Weird is all about One Teacher's Left Behind. Fish rot from the head, we're told.

This week, Mike and Rick talk about loopholes, middle class whining, and tough love in the City of Brotherly Love. We have a trying interview, and there's something suspect about Education News of the Weird. If you think this podcast is going badly, don't worry: We've commissioned a Study Group

This week, Mike and Rick blast the?Times Magazine?for its naivet?, puzzle over the effect of crack dealers on math scores, and bemoan the error of testing companies' ways. We have an interview with education columnist Linda Seebach, who puts Gadfly in his place, and Education News of the Weird is probably in the Axis of Evil.

This week, Mike, Rick, and guest co-host Dave DeSchryver talk about Argentina, Mexico, waterfalls, money, and, of course, elections. We have an interview with a real political insider (a?Gadfly Show?convert, to boot!), and News of the Weird is soooo dramatic. All in 20 minutes! You go on the air with the podcast you have, not the podcast you want.?
